What is an FHA Loan?

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a division of the Federal department of Housing and Urban Development, is a government bureau that insures home loans for buyers with low to moderate-income and less-than-perfect credit, with a smaller budget for a down payment.

FHA-backed loans typically have monthly payments up to 20% less than traditional loans and require as little as 3.5% of the purchase price as a down payment.

Additionally, down-payment-assistance grants may be available to help buyers obtain an FHA loan with even less money down, possibly 0% down.

First-time home buyers and/or buyers with lower but stable income and derogatory entries on their credit reports may find an FHA loan to be the quickest, most affordable route to home-ownership.
